Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma can arise from many different experiences, and its effects are often carried not only in our memories, but also in our bodies, relationships, and sense of ourselves. Many people who have experienced trauma have also experienced misunderstanding, leaving them to carry the weight of their experiences alone.
I approach trauma therapy with great care, recognising that healing cannot be rushed. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, building trust, strengthening your internal and external resources, and listening closely to your nervous system. When the time is right, we can gently explore traumatic experiences in ways that support integration rather than overwhelm.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a steady foundation from which healing can unfold. Trauma work is rarely linear, and there is no right way to move through it. Throughout the process, my role is to accompany you with patience, respect, and compassion as you gradually reconnect with your own resilience, agency, and capacity for living more freely.

Charu Mangla Goel
Psychologist, MA, Psy BA
My approach involves helping you look at your internal world- your thoughts/beliefs and patterns of behaviour (created early in life and replicated in your current challenges) and connect with the underlying emotions, so you can experience a changed relationship to self and others.

Registered Psychotherapist, Amanda Guilfoyle. M.Gestalt T. B.SocSci (Couns)
As a trauma informed therapist I hold your experience gently and work at a pace that is suitable for you to move through your deepest , darkest and most shattering experiences. I use psycho education to keep you informed about the changes in the brain from trauma. Using a combination of Gestalt therapy , Poly vagal theory and other modalities which might suit your particular experience you are taught new ways to navigate triggers and self regulate. With the right support you may be able to integrate what has happened to you rather than the event continually getting in the way of how you would like to be .

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.
